Flash Fiction chosen by Stella Turner

“A Winter’s Tale” by Geoff Holme via Micro Bookends

This was the winning story and a good choice by the judge. It’s a tragic tale beautifully written in so few words.

“Journey” by Tamara Shoemaker via Flash! Friday

Writing a story with only 150 words—loosely based on Anna Karenina—is no mean feat, but this tale is so sad. It’s an accurate account of many relationships. It made me reflect and wish I’d written it 🙂

“This is Really Him” by Sal Page via The Angry Hourglass

Sal doesn’t normally write horror but this is good. Starting off as a romantic walk up to a windmill and then…! I’m not going to spoil it for you. I’ll let you read it yourself 🙂

“Ice Cream Fixes Everything” by Edward Cody Huddleston via Postcard Shorts

A snapshot of a moment in time. Poignant and tender in a matter-of-fact way.

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.

    Oh, the wordplay — and the kindness — in “Ice Cream Fixes Everything.” Good one.
